LoNt.
Now it is a fact, well known and beyond
dispute, that every animate or inanimate
structure l. spends to some chord or note of
music, called, l believe, the dominant. We
have all felt some building vibrate in unison
with the pulsation of some note of a musical
instrument; we have felt "creepy" shiyers
run through us as some musical chord is
sounded. 1t is well known that animals are
strangely affected by certain harmonies.
Some day, when civilization has advanced. l
believe that-these evidences of psychological
structure will be better understood. 1t will
be recognized that vice and virtue are in
accord with different harmonies, and yield to
the power of different dominants: and, when
once the classification is made, and the dis
closures of the dominant understood, then the
extent and influence of the dominant will be
a psychological test to define the character
and ruling passions of mems nature, and to
decide the fitness of men for the various pur-
suits of life, and even for life itself.-Arthur
Dudley Vinton, in American Magazine.

Recently a few builders nave been daring
enough to introduce the native woods as n
finishing lumber. The Wilcox house. at Los
Gatos, is finished in redwood and pine. care
being taken TO preserve all the fine grainings.
The natural tint of the sugar pine is con-
verted into n gold color by use of shellac
varnish; the redwood, by the same means, is
made to resemble the russell leather, so fash
ionable at the present time for house finishing
in the east. The general effect is pleasant
and cheerful. 1t is not n coarse imitation; it
is truth, and will induce frequent observa-
ton and admiration.
Many attempts heretofore to utilize the
beautiful grainings of the native timbers
failed because of improper finish. Finished
in oil, as oak frequently is, the whole becomes
q dull brown, the granting ultimately dis
appearing; finished with shellac, the surface
becomes hard and the markings are pre-
served.
The redwood furnishes an immense variety
Of colorings, The outer portion of the trunk of
q tree is u delicate white; the center a deem
russell brown. Large trees have a habit OF
settling down upon themselves near the
ground. Sometimes the lower part of the
trunks are twice the size Of that above. This
results in a curly or wavyg grain, or a birds
eye appearance, according TO the way the log
Is sawed. Formerly, and in many cases even
now, high scaffOlds were built in order to
chop the tree off above the "bulge," which
was considered useless. Generally these en-
larged portions are carefully saved, as there
is n growing demand for the c~uriously marked
wood.
The roots, too, are beginning to be sought
for as cabinet lumber. Many think the
stumps and roots, which will neither burn
nor rot out, will yet bring more than the
original price of the trees.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

THE MANKATO NORMAL.

The annual commencement exerci-
ses of the Mankato State Normal school
closed last evening by the successful
graduation of class of thirty-four stu
dents from its various courses of study.
This is, we believe, the largest number
graduated in any one year since the
establishment of the institution. 1t is
not too much to say, and it will be re-
ceived with pleasure by the friends of
education throughout the State, that the
Mankato Normal is well sustaining its
place i'm the front ranks ofthe best train
ing schools of the country. And not
only that, but its standard is being year
ly advanced and with each annual COM
mencement there is noticeable and i'm
provement i'm the methods and widen
ing of the scope of its influence and re-
suits. For this, credit must be given to
President Soaring and the talented and
willing faculty, under whose watchful
care the operation and affairs of the
school are conducted without the least
friction, and with no interruption in the
good results of its labors.
Sup't. Kiehle stated a truth last even
ing i'm saying that Mankato was fully
satisfied with the state institution she
has. Our citizens do take much pride
in possessing the State Normal and it is
with great pleasure that they note its
strides toward the highest standard OF
excellence.

THE outcome Of the National drill
would seem to indicate shifting of the
military spirit of the old storm centers
to the Northwest. The records made by
the companies from Illinois, Michigan,
and other Northwestern States are
clearly in advance of those made by the
crack companies from the Southern
States. On this showing there is more
of soldierly pride and military spirit in
the Northwest than in any other sec
ton. One thing is certain, however,
there is nothing Of a ."eciloilai or local
nature i'm this military spirit, but is en-
tirely national. Whatever else the
northwest may be, it is sure always to
be loyal to the idea of Nation with a

Not Finished, But Begun.

On an elm-tree In the forest
Bloomed n tiny flower one day,
Birds and sunshine, leaves and breezes
Made its moments bright and gay.
Short IL was for soon the color
Faded into sombre gloom,
And ere long its lifetime ended
Dropped into Its spectral tomb.
AS a Seeding IL was swelling;
Growing larger every day,
But at last its hue was changing
From q green unto gray,
And its stem was daily losing
All its hold upon the tree,
When IL fell a biue-bird twittered:
"All success wish TO thee,
Severed from paternal succor,
Now thy course begins to run
Starting now upon a life-race
Thou'rt not finished, but begun"
Soon tiny elm-tree waited
Its green plumes In balmy air,
Claimed Its place among the millions
That made Spring beloved and fair.
There among unnumbered rivals
II was braveiy held It's ground
Till the graduates's committee
Chose il as the best they found.
Proudly now IL stands before US
Rearing high its triple form;
Firmly rooted strong in teture
IL will conquer every storm.
What for us Is more cOngenial
As remembrance of our class?
Here IL stands through changing seasons
Growing stronger as they pass.

voted the meeting success. No UNI

the enjoyment of the occasion.
UNION MEETING OF NORMAL CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION.
Normal Hall was completely filled last
night by students and their friends, the
attraction being the address before the
union meeting of the Christian associa-
tons of the Normal School, by Rev.
Thomas Cochran, of st. Paul. Mr.. III.
+. Perrin, president of the Y. M. G. A.,
acted as master Of ceremonies. The
meeting was opened by prayer by Rev.
Stevenson, after which the audience
joined in singing.
Mr. Cochran was introduced and gave
very impressive address, speaking
without notes. He spoke on the rela-
ton of religion to school work and made
the points that the church has always
fostered education, and that the tend
ency now was to divorce religious teach
ing from school work. He held that
the latter was brought about by Catho-
lies and Freethinkers, but favored the
separation. He thought that the es-
'sence of religion still existed in the
schools. He made very favorable inn
preston ON his hearers.
The exercises closed with singing by q
quartet consisting of Misses Hale and
Putnam, and Messrs. Cushing and Per-
rim. The meeting was very interesting
throughout and was success in every
particular.

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing house
of George Stinson s. Co., of Portland, Maine.
The reason of this exceptional success is
found in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford, At present we
understand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines They need
many more agents in all parts of the country.
They who need profitable work should ap-
ply at once. Women do as we'll as men.
Experience is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stinson s. Co., uudeItak to show all who
are willing to work, not hard but earnestly,
the path to large success. 1t should remem-
bered that an agent can do handsome bust
ness without being away from home over
night. Another advantage-its costs nothing
to give the bustfss trial, and an agent
can devote all ~ time, or only his spare
